Constructivism and ICT: An experience in the area of language arts with elementary school students

In this article the authors report the result of a study focused on the implementation of an educational project, the purpose of which was to contribute to the process of pedagogical appropriation of ICT, and to optimize their use in educational institutions. An educational project for the language arts area in 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th grades was designed and implemented, following a constructivist approach, and supported by resources found in the classroom: a computer, a video projector, and internet-available content. Specifically, the implementation of this educational project is analyzed to determine whether it does in fact respond to particular conditions of constructivist teaching.
